Public bug reported: Before upgrading to 20.04 from 19.10 recently, my desktop would not automatically suspend when idle. After upgrading, it started suspending automatically.
First thing I did was try to use the graphical configurator: but this continued to suspend. Then I started investigating gsettings: it turns out that the configurator was changing org.gnome.settings- daemon.plugins.power but not com.canonical.unity.settings- daemon.plugins.power. So the second time I changed the latter settings using the command line. Unless I'm mistaken, this appears to prevented my desktop from suspending as long as I don't lock the screen. However, if I lock the screen, then it continues to suspend itself even after my command-line attempt at disabling suspend. lpsmith@kleene:~$ gsettings list-recursively | grep -i "suspend\|sleep" org.cinnamon.desktop.keybindings.media-keys suspend ['XF86Sleep'] org.cinnamon.desktop.keybindings.media-keys hibernate ['XF86Suspend', 'XF86Hibernate'] org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys suspend [''] org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys hibernate-static ['XF86Suspend', 'XF86Hibernate'] org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys suspend-static ['XF86Sleep'] com.canonical.unity.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-ac-action 'suspend' com.canonical.unity.settings-daemon.plugins.power power-button-action 'suspend' com.canonical.unity.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-suspend-with-external-monitor false com.canonical.unity.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-power 'suspend' com.canonical.unity.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-battery-action 'suspend' com.canonical.unity.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-suspend 'suspend' com.canonical.unity.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-sleep 'hibernate' com.canonical.unity.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-timeout 1200 com.canonical.unity.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-type 'nothing' com.canonical.unity.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-type 'nothing' com.canonical.unity.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-timeout 1200 org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-ac-action 'suspend' org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-suspend-with-external-monitor false org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-battery-action 'suspend' org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power critical-battery-action 'suspend' org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-suspend 'suspend' org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-sleep 'suspend' org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-timeout 3600 org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-type 'suspend' org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-type 'nothing' org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-timeout 1200 org.gnome.desktop.screensaver ubuntu-lock-on-suspend true org.freedesktop.Tracker.Miner.Files initial-sleep 15 org.gnome.Music inhibit-suspend false Honestly what I'd really like to do, eventually, is plug my desktop back into the usbconnection that my UPS provides, and don't suspend while on battery power, but rather hibernate or shutdown cleanly when the battery power becomes critically low.
